Answer:

y = - 3x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that slope is a measure of the rate of change of a linear function.

Express the function in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 2) into the partial function

2 = - 15 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 15 = 17

y = - 3x + 17 ← is the linear function

Value of peters house has risen 20% a year for the last three years. If the value of peters home three years ago was $120 thousa

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The value now = $207,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase = 20% per year = 20/100 = 0.2 per year

value 3 years ago = $120,000

interest at year 1:

20% of 120,000

= 0.2 × 120,000 = 24,000

Value at the end of year 1

= initial value + interest

= 120,000 + 24,000 = $144,000

In year 2:

20% of 144,000

= 0.2 × 144,000 = 28,800

Value at the end of year 2:

144,000 + 28,800 = $172,800

In year 3

0.2 × 172,800 = 34,560

Value at the end of year 3:

34,560 + 172,800 = $207,360

Dose Congruent Mean Having The Same Measure

Julli [10]

So Congruent. Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size. Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. Two figures are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

I hope that help u:)

masya89 [10]

Answer:

140 students are in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pie Chart, 70 students are 50%. So then, you multiply 50% of the survey to get 100% (the entirety surveyed). So 70 x 2 = 140

So there were 140 students in the school.

If a population of 100 cells triples every hour, which function represents p(t), the population after t hours?

tia_tia [17]

Exponential functions are in the form $f(x)=a*b^x$ , where a is the initial value, b is the growth rate (percent increase) + 1, and x is the number of time periods. Our initial value is 100, and we're given the growth rate + 1 (tripling is the same as increasing by 200%; 200%=2.0; 2.0+1=3). Therefore our function is $p(t)=100*3^t$ .
